主　　题：Porites lutea Mg/Ca thermometer North of the South China Sea. 

摘      要：High resolution Mg/Ca ratios in the skeleton of a Porites lutea from the coastal area in the North of the South China Sea were precisely analyzed by ICP-MS. Compared with the instrument measured SST records, the Mg/Ca ratios strongly correlate with the SSTs, even in time of 1982/83 EI N(?)io. Therefore, a coral Mg/Ca thermometer for the North of the South China Sea was *** on ICP-MS technique it can report sea surface temperatures to an accuracy of±0.5℃.
